A  HOTFX  LOBBY  SUGGESTION 

By  E.  G.  Teale 


THE 

PURPOSE 

of 

THIS  BOOK 


HIS  BOOK  is  issued  to  extend  to  the  patrons  of  the 
Company  a  distinctive  service  covering  elevator 
enclosures;  giving  detailed  information  as  to  ar¬ 
rangement,  construction,  design,  and  finish. 

Throughout  the  book,  each  component  part  of  the 
enclosure  is  treated  and  illustrated  in  a  separate  section. 
This  treatment  affords  a  wide  range  in  the  selection  of  the 
enclosure  design  and  its  application  to  varying  hatch 
conditions. 

The  color  plates  in  Section  One  show  the  members  as¬ 
sembled  into  complete  designs.  The  merits  and  application 
of  the  different  units  are  briefly  described  in  the  text  pre¬ 
ceding  each  section.  The  responsibility  for  all  enclosure 
parts  should  be  undivided  and  rest  with  one  concern. 

Tyler  quality  and  workmanship  assures  an  artistic  and 
dependable  enclosure  both  as  to  architecture  and  mechan¬ 
ical  construction. 

A  few  “Tyler”  Elevator  Cars  are  also  shown. 


HOW  TO  USE  THIS  BOOK 


With  the  arrangement  of  this  book  a  complete  enclosure  can  be  selected  to 
include  any  desired  panel,  transom,  trim,  pilaster,  etc.  Each  section  shows 
a  variety  of  designs  of  the  individual  parts  that  make  up  the  complete 
enclosure. 

Section  1  shows  some  of  the  attractive  combinations  that  can  be  made. 

Designs  should  be  assembled  or  specified  from  the  various  sections  in  the 
following  order: 

7  feet  high,  specify  the  design  of  frieze  desired. 

Some  of  the  frieze  sections  shown  can  be  used 
at  the  ceiling  or  at  the  top  of  the  enclosure. 
Cornices  can  be  selected  for  more  ornamental 
effects. 

Pilasters— Section  No.  10.  Pilasters  may 
be  used  where  there  are  several  elevators  in  a 
bank  with  the  fronts  adjoining  each  other  or 
for  more  ornamental  treatment. 

Sills — Section  No.  11.  Specify  the  kind  of 
floor  construction  and  whether  facias  are 
desired. 

Hardware — Section  Nos.  12  and  13. 
Hanger  equipment  and  locks  should  be  de¬ 
cided  by  the  enclosure  contractor,  as  same 
varies  for  the  different  types  of  operation. 

Door  checks  must  be  used  on  push-button 
or  dual  control  elevators  but  are  desirable  on 
all  types. 

Finish — Sections  Nos.  14  and  15.  Specify 
the  finish  by  letter  and  number  as  indicated 
under  the  various  color  plates. 

To  assure  dependable  and  smoothly  operating  equipment,  it  is  especially 
important  to  have  undivided  responsibility;  therefore,  all  the  parts  required 
for  the  complete  enclosure,  as  listed  above,  should  be  included  under  one 
specification. 


Keyplates — Section  No.  2.  The  keyplates 
show  hatchway  conditions  and  space  required 
for  various  types  of  enclosures  and  doors. 
They  will  serve  to  determine  the  best  arrange¬ 
ment  for  specific  conditions. 

Panels — Section  No.  3.  After  deciding 
upon  the  enclosure  layout,  selections  can  be 
made  of  designs  of  panels.  Doors  and  station¬ 
ary  panels  can  be  furnished  in  any  width  to 
suit  any  of  the  keyplate  arrangements. 

Transoms — Section  No.  4.  Where  enclo¬ 
sures  are  desired  over  7  feet  high,  transoms 
should  be  selected  and  specified.  These  are 
available  in  any  width  or  height. 

Glass — Section  No.  5.  Any  style  of  glass 
can  be  specified;  the  more  usual  kinds  are 
illustrated. 

Jambs — Section  No.  6.  In  selecting  jambs, 
specify  thickness  of  walls. 

Trim — Section  No.  7.  It  is  customary  to 
use  trim,  although  same  is  sometimes  omitted. 

Cornices  and  Frieze  Rails — Sections 
Nos.  8  and  9.  If  the  enclosures  are  more  than

SECTION  ONE 

Assembled  Designs 


© 

HE  Color  Plates  in  this  section  illustrate 
combinations  of  some  of  the  different 
units  into  assembled  fronts.  Architec¬ 
tural  treatment  to  suit  the  different  periods 
can  be  obtained  by  proper  combination  of  units. 

A  variety  of  finishes  in  both  Enamel  and 
Electro  Plates  make  possible  pleasing  color 
effects  that  will  be  in  harmony  with  the 
surroundings. 

The  manufacture  of  the  component  parts  of 
the  enclosure,  including  sills,  jambs,  hardware, 
door  panels,  etc.,  should  not  be  separated  in 
the  specifications  under  different  headings, 
but  should  be  covered  by  one  contract  to  one 
company,  to  assure  undivided  responsibility.

SECTION  THREE 

Panels 


© 

HE  designs  in  this  section  are  adaptable 
to  either  stationary  panels  or  doors,  and 
can  be  made  in  any  width  or  wainscot 
height.  Seven  feet  has  been  adopted  for 
standard  height  of  door  opening,  but  in  special 
cases  this  can  vary. 

The  Tyler  enclosure  door  panels  are  made 
of  heavy  gauge  material,  electrically  welded 
into  one  piece,  and  reinforced  to  withstand  the 
peculiar  strains  and  stresses  to  which  they  are 
subjected. 

Tyler  doors  will  not  twist  or  warp.  Perfect 
alignment  and  non-interference  with  other 
members  is  assured.

SECTION  FOUR 

Transom  Panels 

0 

RANSOM  panels  add  to  the  attractive¬ 
ness  of  elevator  enclosures,  balancing  the 
design  and  producing  correct  proportion. 
They  are  also  the  means  of  transmitting  light 
to  the  elevator  shaft.  In  stores  the  transoms 
allow  elevator  passengers  to  see  the  merchan¬ 
dise  displays. 

The  panels  illustrated  are  constructed  of  cold 
rolled  steel,  either  flat  in  section,  or  molded. 

In  selecting  the  transom  design,  consider¬ 
ation  should  be  given  to  the  style  of  door  used.

SECTION  FIVE 

Glass 


Q 

LASS  and  glazing  should  be  included  in 
the  enclosure  specifications. 

The  usual  method  of  setting  glass  does 
not  provide  a  satisfactory  cushion,  and  the 
putties  and  cements  used  cause  unsightly 
seepage  around  the  muntin  bars  or  glass  frames. 
The  Tyler  Company  use  a  pure  gum  rubber 
channel  for  this  purpose,  assuring  proper 
cushion  and  neat  setting. 

The  glass  is  held  in  place  by  continuous 
steel  stops  screwed  to  the  panel  frames  and 
muntins.  In  the  event  of  breakage,  this  type 
of  setting  makes  reglazing  very  easy. 

The  kinds  of  wire  glass  generally  used  for 
glazing  enclosures  and  their  relative  degrees  of 
transparency  are  illustrated  on  the  opposite 
page.

surfaces,  assuring  a  perfect  finish  in 
enamel  or  plated  effects.  They  are  formed 
with  offsets  for  the  door  bumpers  and  operating 
mechanism. 

Headers  or  soffits  have  housings  for  the 
hardware  and  are  reinforced  with  heavy  steel

SECTION  ELEVEN 

Sills  and  Facias 


O 

HE  Sill  is  a  very  important  part  of  an 
elevator  enclosure  front.  The  noise  and 
difficult  operation  of  elevator  doors  can 
often  be  traced  to  faulty  sill  construction. 

Tyler  sills  are  cast  solid  and  extra  heavy  in 
section,  without  the  grooves  for  the  door 
guides.  The  grooves  are  cut  by  machine  to 
micrometer  exactness,  assuring  absolute  accu¬ 
racy  in  alignment  and  a  perfect  fit  for  the 
guides,  eliminating  any  possibility  of  noise  or 
binding.  Sills  have  safety  surfacing  in  the 
doorways. 

In  cases  where  sills  extend  into  the  shaft,  or 

where  desired  for  finish,  steel  facias  are 

•» 

used.  These  can  be  made  full  depth  of  floor 
construction.

SECTION  TWELVE 

Hardware 


Q 

HE  Han  ger  Equipment  is  vital  to  the  satis¬ 
factory  operation  of  the  enclosure  door.  In  the 
selection  of  hangers,  the  width  and  weight  of 
door,  also  the  type  of  operation,  must  be  considered. 

The  Tyler  Ball  Bearing  Hanger  and  Silent  Chain 
Device  illustrated  has  proven  most  satisfactory.  This 
Company  uses,  in  connection  with  its  elevator  enclo¬ 
sures,  only  such  types  of  hangers  or  operating  equip¬ 
ment  that  have  been  found  satisfactory  by  thorough 
test. 

All  Tyler  enclosures  are  equipped  with  dust-proof 
housings  for  all  operating  mechanism.  Hinged  cover 
plates  give  easy  access  for  oiling  and  adjustment. 

The  Tyler  pull-down  bar  lock  is  most  generally  used 
and  has  been  found  to  need  less  attention  than  other 
types. 

To  assure  closing  of  the  elevator  door,  check  equip¬ 
ment  is  advisable  and  is  coming  into  general  use. 

In  the  type  of  check  illustrated  two  adjustments  are 
obtainable — one  regulating  closing  pressure,  the  other 
the  cushion  effect. 

Dimensions  of  space  occupied  by  check  are  shown. 

Tyler  equipment  is  designed  to  secure  proper  balance 
in  check  operation.

Tyler  Self-Closing  Gates  for  Freight  Elevators 


Q 

YLER  Self-Closing  Safety  Gates  are 
especially  constructed  for  freight  ele¬ 
vator  service  where  safety  and  speed  are 
essential.  They  have  been  designed  to  over¬ 
come  the  objections  in  the  ordinary  types  of 
elevator  gates. 

Advantages  of  this  new  construction  are: 

The  gate  is  self-closing. 

The  closing  pressure  decreases  as  the  gate 
covers  the  opening,  producing  an  ideal  check¬ 
ing  or  cushion  effect. 

The  entire  opening  is  closed,  preventing  any¬ 
thing  from  falling  in  the  hatchway. 

The  sill  is  within  easy  trucking  distance  of 
the  car  platform. 

The  gate  is  horizontal  sliding. 

The  design  permits  a  view  from  the  landing 
or  from  the  car. 

The  weight  and  stability  of  the  gate  keep  it 
in  operation  and  order  against  the  roughest 
kind  of  usage. 

In  old  openings,  gates  can  usually  be  accom¬ 
modated  to  existing  jamb  conditions,  but  new 
sills  are  necessary  in  all  cases. 

Further  data  will  be  furnished  on  application.

Finishes 


Q 

Grained  Enamel  Ei 

nishes 

The  accurate  matching  on  metal  of  any  wood  in 
shade  and  grain  is  possible. 

The  Tyler  process  for  this  work  assures  results  which 
are  perfect  reproductions  of  the  original  wood. 

Inlay  effect  and  s tripings  afford  pleasing  combina¬ 
tions  and  can  be  produced  in  any  design. 

All  finishes  of  this  character  are  seven  coat  special 
process  work  and  oven  baked. 

Solid  Color  Enamels 


The  shades  illustrated  are  standard.  Other  colors  to 
match  special  samples  can  be  furnished  at  additional  cost. 

The  materials  used  for  Tyler  finishes  are  prepared 
and  mixed  in  the  Company’s  laboratories,  to  assure  the 
best  possible  results. 

The  oven  equipment  for  baking  is  the  most  modern. 
Special  attention  has  been  given  to  producing  a  smooth, 
tough,  elastic  enamel  that  will  wear  under  the  severe 
usage  that  elevator  enclosures  and  cars  receive. 


Plated  Finishes 


Electro-plated  finishes  are  used  where  it  is  desired  to 
reproduce  a  perfect  metallic  effect  to  match  some  shade 
of  brass,  bronze,  copper  or  other  metal. 

It  has  not  been  found  practical  to  illustrate  metallic 
effects  in  print,  therefore,  actual  samples  on  metal  will 
be  furnished  for  final  selection. 


By  the  electro-plating  process,  any  metallic  cast 
desired  can  be  produced  on  steel  at  a  very  much  less 
expense  than  the  work  would  cost  in  the  solid  metal.

Elevator  Cars 


Q 

O  the  general  public,  the  Elevator  Car 
reflects  the  type  and  character  of  the 
elevator  installation.  An  attractive  Car 
commands  the  attention  of  the  passengers  and 
creates  a  favorable  impression  of  the  entire 
building. 

Appreciating  these  facts  The  Tyler  Com¬ 
pany  has  devoted  itself  to  designing  and  build¬ 
ing  Cars  that  will  give  an  atmosphere  of  dig¬ 
nity  and  quality  to  any  surrounding. 

The  same  attention  that  is  evident  in  the 
main  features  of  Tyler  Elevator  Cars  is  extend¬ 
ed  to  the  details,  such  as  lighting,  emergency 
exits,  hand  rails. 

Tyler  Elevator  Cars  can  be  made  in  any 
desired  finish  or  to  match  the  effects  shown  in 
Section  Fourteen.
